      That’s why you outfit your ship with mass drivers.

      Any parasites roaming around on your paradise? A couple hundred rocks at 2% light speed will clear that up.

      A mission in starfield (shit game but honestly decent writing at the very least) included just this. A generation ship finally arrived at its destination long after FTL travel was invented to find that the intended colony planet was already a fancy resort planet. You have to broker some kind of agreement between the parties.

        It’s a couple of Star Trek episodes too. Similar idea is how they found Khan.
